Feeding Dry Seed and Sprout Article

RBC UPDATE:

We get many emails and messages asking about feeding
seeds to their pets and or breeder parrots. Our first
response is, we do not feed much socalled SEED to our birds,
Well, let me completely explain what i mean. We feed lots of
seed, but it is sprouted seed, not much dry seeds are fed to
our breeders. Most parrot mixtures or seed mixtures are high
in fats, not much nutrition. But when seed is sprouted it
completely changes the nutritional value, ITS ALIVE, and when
it swells and sprouts it goes through a bio change within
the seed germ. We feed sprouts daily and we feed over 100
pounds of seeds, lentils,peas (sprouted) within a week.
Sunflower,safflower,oats,groats,canary seed, wheat,
lentils,many types of peas and much more, I am not going to
get into how to sprout here, as that is a learned activity
and one should be careful as sprouts can be dangerous if not
done right,mold,fungus can grow within the sprouting seeds
and will be dangerous, So, if you are going to sprout, trial
and error is good, but read on how to do it somewhere, there
is good info on the internet and practice and get a good
working technique before trying to feed it to your birds.
Also when i said we do not really feed SEED, well, from time
to time, i walk around the farm in the evening and give
about a ounce of seeds or so of washed and drained seeds and
grains to many species, especially african greys as they
really need the extra fats and oils.

We have to be very
careful on amazons as they have a tendancy to get over fat.
I always wash the seed, by using a colander and then rinse
with cool water and then let them stay in the colander for a
hour or 2 and then let dry on a large screen or one can just
place them on a cloth for a short time, they do dry quickly.
We wash them to remove the dust and debris. But the real
problem with many people they think they can just open a bag
of parrot seed and feed it and it’s a good diet, well, its
not, When people tell me that their birds do not look
unhealthy as they are not skinny, my main response is , if
they looked skinny then that would be more natural than fat.
As in the natural world of parrots they do not sit in cages
waiting for someone to fill their bowls, they search for
miles and miles for food to just stay alive, and they are
not fat, far from it, most birds in the wild are very
slender and muscular from all the flying and the foods they
find have to be high nutrient density. And they do eat lots
of grains,and seed particles but most times the seeds are
swollen and sprouting as this is the cycle of nature.

So try some new high
nutrient foods for your birds, you will see a big difference
in breeding, attitude in pets, and feather condition in all
birds in a very short time, Many times feather pickers will
stop picking after a few short weeks of feeding a regime
with added sprouted LIVE foods instead of dry seed and or
just pellets or a too large percentage of pellets.
